Rough week for the Hahaj's...

Last Tuesday I woke up just before 6am with a lot of pain in my right breast. I felt very engorged, I tossed and turned for an hour but could't get comfortable. I got up and pumped and got my usual amount but it didn't relieve the pain. I just thought it was maybe a clogged duct. I got Raegan ready for school, dropped her off, came home and pumped again. Once again pumped my usual amount and it still didn't help the pain and I could not feel a clogged ducted but the whole under side was a little hard. If it was a clogged duct it was the biggest one I have ever had. As the day went on I started getting chills and a headache and started feeling very run down. I mentioned to Ryan I thought that maybe I had mastitis. After I picked R up from school I looked in the mirror and yep I had mastitis. I called my OB to get a script called in and of course he wasn't in so it took forever for the nurse to get it called it. I spent the afternoon in bed while Raegan destroyed the house and Baylor napped. I mean destroyed, she spilt a half gallon of milk then tried to clean it up with a whole roll of paper towels. At least she tried. 

She was not listening and I felt like death. My whole body hurt, especially my back and hips. I had a 101+ fever, my head was killing me, and I was so nauseous. Ryan was going to pick up my Rx from Target on his way home and of course he got out of a meeting late and traffic was bad. I was trying to get dinner started and then started puking. I fed the kids and went back to bed until Ryan got home. 

Wednesday I felt better but my back and hips still really hurt. Baylor and Raegan both had a cough for almost a week now, on and off fevers and a little runny noses. Baylor's cough was just terrible, he had a rattle in his chest and was starting to sound a little wheezy. So after ballet I took Baylor to the doctor. He had a double ear infection but thankfully his lungs sounded clear. Raegan said her left ear was popping and hurt and sure enough she had an ear infection too. That would explain why she was such a handful and not listening the day before. They both were started on amoxicillin. 

Thursday Raegan was back to her sweet, well behaved self. It was such a relief that she wasn't starting in on a new phase of terrible behavior and not listening, it was just her ears. 

Friday Ryan comes home from work early with the flu, and was in bed pretty much until Sunday. I made him sleep on the couch though! Thankfully he wasn't too bad and it was pretty mild, the worst of it Friday night. Both of the kids got flu shots so hopefully the dont get it and neither do I. 

I had to take B back to the doctor today to get his ears rechecked. They are still infected but getting better. Hopefully we are all on the mend and over illness' for a while.
